What is the XDK?

XDK is now released for 24/7 usage, giving you the complete freedom to employ it either as short-term proof-of-concept or XDK Node for long-term projects.

Show the world your great idea for an IoT solution by using the Bosch XDK. This quick and professional prototyping platform has evolved continuously. It's not just available to you as rapid prototyping tool, but also as programmable sensor node. Get the XDK as a single boxed prototyping product or the XDK Node in packs of 10 units including mounting plates.
Utilize the power to monitor, control and analyze your product remotely, via Bluetooth® or Wireless Network. Record predictive maintenance thanks to the included multiple micro-electro mechanical systems (MEMS) sensors and various parameters for condition monitoring. Allow devices, products or machines to become connective and smarter.

The BMI270 is the latest member of Bosch Sensortec’s BMI260 family of IMUs. It includes intuitive gesture, context and activity recognition with an integrated plug-and-play step counter, which is specially optimized for accurate step counting in wrist-worn devices. The IMU is also well suited for other types of wearable devices, such as hearables, smart clothes, smart shoes, smart glasses and ankle bands.

As an ultra-low power IMU, the BMI270 significantly extends system battery life by handling multiple activity tracking, step counting and gesture recognition functions independently of the main system processor, without having to wake it up. These processor-independent functions include tasks such as sending an interrupt when a certain number of steps is reached, or geofencing to activate GPS when the user stands up and starts walking.

Powerful, accurate gesture and activity recognition features therefore run in the ultra-low power domain, with current consumption of just 30 μA. This noticeably reduces power consumption and users can benefit from extended battery charging intervals.

Bosch Sensortec’s smart IMU is available in two application-specific versions. The 'gesture' version, which detects gestures including flick in/out, arm up/down, and wrist tilt. This version is fully compliant with Wear OS by Google, ensuring a user-friendly and feature-rich experience for end users. The 'context and activity' version has advanced features for recognizing context activity and activity change, for example standing, walking or being in a vehicle.

The BMI270 is designed to provide maximum flexibility to customers. Manufacturers not only benefit from the excellent sensor performance of the IMU but can also customize it based on the specific use case with gesture and context/activity features.

Building on the latest Bosch MEMS process technology, the BMI270 combines the automotive-proven gyroscope technology with a significantly improved accelerometer. The sensor includes a 2 kB FIFO.

Bosch’s unique and motionless Component Retrimming (CRT) feature provides built-in gyroscope self-calibration without a rotation stimulus, which saves OEMs valuable time and costs during testing and manufacturing. The embedded plug and play features of the BMI270 help to substantially cut time to market.

According to individual needs, the CISS allows to activate or deactivate sensors. Furthermore, it is possible to configure the sampling rates as well as possible thresholds - this opens a wide field of industrial applications.

CISS can be integrated as initial equipment in new machines / machine modules / plants and also as a retrofit solution to upgrade existing machines / machine modules / plants.

CISS is an instrument for condition monitoring of machines / machine modules / plants in operation.

This condition monitoring can be temporary as well as permanently and shows, when current conditions differ from target conditions.

CISS allows a premature recognition and localization of necessary optimizations and enables a further development and refinement of predictive maintenance and remote maintenance concepts. This is the premise for a rise of efficiency due to a reduction of unplanned standstills, disproportional reject production as well as effort for analyzing problems, maintenance- and repairing work.

This sensor device is a forerunner of its kind and will lead to a great positioning in the future market of the IoT (Internet of Things).

µLC Test System

Mobile Hardware-in-the Loop (HIL) Test System for flexible use in the workplace

In today’s cars, a variety of control units are installed. The complexity from the Electric and Electronic (E/E) functions are constantly evolving and, thereby, increasing the challenges for the test system. The development and testing of control units takes a lot of work and time. Bosch Engineering has developed a Hardware-in-the-Loop test system that examines single functions in the early development stages, which is both time and cost effective. The complete and portable HiL test system is a practical service that can be performed at your desk. The newly developed system allows for quality assurance for control units within the automotive industry. With its manageable measurements of 17cm x 11cm x 6cm and a weight of only 690 grams, the µLC test system is capable of use on the go. Assembly only requires a few minutes and testing the control unit is possible. The traditional long lead times are gone. The Open-Loop-System is easily connected to every control unit through common interfaces and bus systems within the automotive sector, for example PWM Signals, SENT, CAN or LIN. Because of early error identification, the development phases of the control unit software will be more efficient. The control units can be used, for example, with motor and transmission control units, vehicle control units and other control units within the automotive industry. The user-friendly interface allows the operator to intuitively use and evaluate data. Thanks to the clear structure of the menu navigation, the user can easily and quickly configure and execute tests. The system will include the hardware and Windows software (MicroLC software), as well as, services, like regular software updates and email support.
